How well Hawksbury holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Hawksbury gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,130 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
